Veteran defender Jamal Adams was carted off the field in his first game with the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday.
Adams, 30, appeared to sustain the injury during a touchdown play in the second quarter, when Jaxson Dart connected with Malachi Fields for a 15-yard pass. Adams stumbled while defending receiver Calvin Austin III and stayed on the turf. Adams then entered the medical tent and a cart was brought to take him to the locker room for further examination.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell said that Adams suffered a right knee injury.
“Initial exam does not look good,” O’Connell said after the Vikings’ 13-10 win. “Don’t want to confirm anything until we see the imaging on that.”
Adams played 11 defensive snaps before leaving the game and was credited with one tackle.
Adam signed with the Vikings on July 27 as a linebacker, but he has also played safety since joining the team. He played in every game for the Raiders last season after playing in 15 games over the previous three seasons.
